It’s Saturday morning, 9:00—that means it’s time for the Monster Magic Show! Thanks for joining live and chatting, it’s always great seeing the excitement.
Tumbleweed by Brent Braun and Andy Glass (£17.50)
A visual multi-phase packet trick with jokers flipping over and back again. Built on a clever “big lie” principle that completely fooled me. Uses a common gaff in a fresh way, with phases that look impossibly clean. Comes with cards and a solid tutorial (including a nice selected card ending). Easy setup, durable, and fun—straight into my wallet. Bargain.

Misled Pen by Timothy Wenk (£24.99)
Classic “pen through bill” updated with a pen instead of a pencil. Pen looks normal, works with any foldable note (tens fit best). Very visual, angle-sensitive but easy once you get the knack. Tutorial by Nick Locapo is clear and thorough. Great for social media and close-up (just don’t let anyone behind you).

Needle Through Coin (Nathan Kranzo and TCC, £25.99)
A signed half-dollar is wrapped in foil, then a needle and thread are pushed through it. The coin is unwrapped and can be examined or given away. Smart thinking, strong penetration effect, and well-taught. Downsides: you’ll need to supply half-dollars (and possibly give them away), and there’s some simple switching, but it’s motivated. Pocket-friendly and powerful.

TNT by Nicholas Lawrence and Theory11 (£39.99)
Spectator can’t tear a card—but you can. Later, you give them strength back and they rip halves and even quarters. A quirky, powerful premise with no sleights and clever gaffs. Comes with a Monarch deck and tutorial packed with ideas (including routines by Ran Pink and Pete Turner). Fun, baffling, and plays big.
